Mike,
You only transferred 3 LMB so LMB recruitment depends in part on whether you have both sexes. Alot will depend on whether the panfish harass a spawning attempt sufficiently to ruin it. Here is what I can assure you of. If you do nothing from here and those 3 bass are all females, you will grow some huge bass. You may be reporting lengths of 18" next year this time and high RW. Harvest one of them and in a 1/4 acre pond you might grow one of the two remaining to >10 lbs.
With large panfish as a goal, a few more LMB might improve the chances of an LMB spawning success next year.
